"Programming is for people that pursue a career in the IT industry or science. Is it a nice skill to have ? Sure, just like carpentry or mechanical engineering."
And we never expose anyone to the beginnings of those disciplines in school, ever, do we?
That if they are niche skills, like programming, and we teach the beginnings of them, why are you so opposed to people being taught the beginnings of programming?

I am not against that, i am just not a fan of this whole new "everyone needs to know how to program" hypetrain.
